Team approach. At Mayo Clinic, neurologists work as a team with doctors trained in physical medicine and rehabilitation (physiatrists), physical and occupational therapists, nutrition specialists (dietitians), nurses, social workers and others to treat people with ALS. Depending on your need, many health care professionals are available and willing to become part of your team.

The integrated team is committed to providing for your needs and managing your condition through continuing care and follow-up appointments.

Support. Mayo Clinic offers you and your family many resources for support, information and education. Your treatment team partners with you and your family to provide care and support. Support groups for people with ALS and their family members are available throughout the United States, and your treatment team can work with you to find support groups in your area.
